parəɡlʌɪdɪŋ is the sport of flying lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.
Since Greek mythology, flying is a dream that many cherish.
As Icarus longed for the heavens, men want to control the land, the sea and the air.
The first step in the void was frightening. The emptiness under your feet feels awkward, but flying is addictive. Overcoming barriers and pushing your limits. Just like those other birds, you enjoy the perspective.
